At the Immanent
Frame, Vincent Pecora discusses a project on religion and modernity that
will be pursued there. In his essay, he has a critical summary of Habermas’s
views on religion, rationality, and modernity. He notes that the concept of the
secular cannot be exhausted by the invisibility of religion and that it leaves
out too much when it is viewed through the lens of Christianity. In my view,
his questioning of the sagacity of the Habermasian conception of progress is on
the mark. His essay is worth reading and the project seems well conceived. It
should produce some very interesting work.
